Hi everybody!
Hey everyone,
My name is Ken. I just moved to Warner Robins, GA after getting my first job and decided it was time to start a new project!
I currently drive a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V which is definitely the worst car I've ever owned.
I am looking to pick up an FC rolling chassis next week and will be putting in an LSX engine into it. Which one depends on what I can find and what will actually work.
My former cars were Subarus, owned a 2002 WRX and a 2000 RS which I initially swapped with the motor out of the '02 and then swapped in a JDM STI EJ207 with a twin-scroll. Ended up totalling that, hence the crappy SE-R now.

Took me forever, but I finally got an FC RX7 rolling chassis. $600 for the chassis, already had the interior removed, but came with it in boxes. Also has a widebody which I have started modifying since it fits terribly. Also put a deposit on an LS1 and T56, should be picking it up very soon so I can start the install process!

Reliability and knowledge. I know very little about how to take care of a rotary engine. This race car is a learning experience, but I'm an aero engineer, not mechanical. I want the engine to work as flawlessly as possible with little needed from me. I want to take the time I would be spending on the engine and put it towards bodywork, Aerodynamics and setup. That's what I want to learn about.
